Carmen surf boots by Beach Athletics
With our first camping trip of the year planned for a fine spring weekend, it was the perfect chance to see if they lived up to expectations.
What is a Carmen Surf Boot?
Surf boots in the wild
Carmen Surf Boots are luxury sheepskin boots, perfect for British shores.
Easy to slip on, naturally comfortable and stylishly casual, the short sheepskin boot is a staple of many surfer’s shoe racks.
These little beauties stand out among the crowd, for all the following reasons:
• British design
• Luxury materials
• Available in five fab colours
• Welsh company
• Affordable price, just £60
Do Carmen surf boots live up to expectations?
Camping in Carmen boots
In short, yes! We went for the understated and contemporary pale grey Carmen surf boots.
Initially a snug fit but they soon eased with wear and now fit like a trusty pair of slippers.
Through constant wear on our coastal camping trip, they admirably endured countryside walks, campfire cooking and cool springtime weather. Keeping my partner’s tootsies dry, warm and comfy day and night.
If you want footwear for cool water surf trips, classic British camping or laid back outdoor living, you can’t go wrong with these smashing surf boots.

Disclosure
We did get gifted a pair of these lovely Carmen surf boots to test, but were not under any obligation to review them. However, my partner really does like them and thought you might like to know about a British company selling affordable boots that meet a surfer’s needs. Feel free to ignore our opinion and buy more expensive brands from distant shores 🙂
